Featuring my lemonade-themed punk, Leslie! i drew this when i visited nafisah in San Diego- it took me all year to get the nerve to watercolor it lol. I carried this thing around in Dyemelikeasunset 's backpack so much it got creased in the corners- noticeable in the bottom left hand corner. It felt like I was in high school again, carrying my work around…!!! It didn’t really turn out exactly how I imagined, but I love the bubbles anyway- I want to do more- maybe with less concrete ideas/visions, so it can become whatever it likes.
This is sort of a revamp of an old picture , but it changed so much that it became more of a fond nod/homage than a ‘draw this again’
Thanks for looking~

Gosh snaw you cake it on so thick!!! T///)(\//////T I feel like such a greenhorn with watercolors still honestly, there's a lot of technique lacking for me still- but thank you for the encouragement nevertheless!! There is something comforting about the experimental aspect of it, so I can't be too hard on myself. u///u

Is she perhaps Hawaiian? Her facial structure kind of seems it.

oh honestly that's such a good idea! i was aiming for east asain and someone had suggested a half japanese celeb for a face inspiration that i really liked--- so hawaiian/japanese is perfect! i know you were just guessing but thank you for the suggestion!

The lineart, the way the watercolors blend so well (like, I feel like that's one of the most frustrating things to learn about utilizing watercolors, but you're handling it so well now). I just. !!! Ahhh! //flops on the floor out of joy
And I love how you utilized the white paint (or whiteout? could work the same way). and how you worked with the transparencies of the bubbles and the eyeliner as well (with the cute little dots) and the way you utilized the pink lemonade theme in a lot of the accessories. ////////
I'm glad you have the courage to finish this with watercolors. I'm trying to gather the courage to do so, as well, but it might be a slow process for me//// (you also reminded me that I need to get colored inking pens soon /adds on the list of art supplies
Hopefully we'll be graced with more traditional art from you. ;o; I'm curious to see how you'll continue to improve.

You are fantastic with watercolors Bee ;n; !! this looks absolutely Darlin. I love the warm colors all put together with the yellow and pink it kinda looks like lemonade~!
Your traditional work is always as gorgeous as your digital <3 I love to see you experiment with different mediums.

This is so pretty ;n;
Fantastic job!
